A quantum particle travels through a wormhole back in time and returns to the same location in space and time. Physicists at University of Queensland, Australia have simulated time travel using particles of light. The researchers achieved this by simulating the behavior of a single piece of light–a particle of energy–traveling on a closed timelike curve (CTC)–a closed path in space-time. The work may help to understand the longstanding problem of how time-travel could be possible in the quantum world and how the theory of quantum mechanics might change in the presence of closed timelike curves. The work also shows how many effects, forbidden in standard quantum mechanics, may be possible inside a CTC and how light would behave differently depending on how it was created. In the study, the research team simulated the behavior of a single photon that travels through a wormhole and interacts with its older self. This was achieved, PhD student Martin Ringbauer told The Speaker, by making use of a mathematical equivalence between two cases. In the first case, photon 1 “travels trough a wormhole into the past, then interacts with its older version.” In the second case, photon 2 “travels through normal space-time, but interacts with another photon that is trapped inside a CTC forever” (as shown in the illustration at top of the article). “Using the (fictitious second case) and simulating the behavior of photon 2, we were able to study the more relevant case 1,” said Ringbauer. “We used single photons to do this,” said UQ Physics Professor Tim Ralph, “but the time-travel was simulated by using a second photon to play the part of the past incarnation of the time travelling photon.” The paper, “Experimental Simulation of Closed Timelike Curves,” was completed by University of Queensland’s Dr Matthew Broome, Dr Casey Myers, Professor Andrew White, in addition to Professor Ralph and Martin Ringbauer, supported by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology, and was published in Nature Communications. In the team’s press briefing, Ringbauer commented on the relationship between the theory of general relativity and another important–but conflicting–theory, quantum mechanics. Time travel is thought to potentially help understanding the gap between the two schools of thought. “The question of time travel features at the interface between two of our most successful yet incompatible physical theories – Einstein’s general relativity and quantum mechanics,” said Ringbauer. Time travel in the quantum world may avoid general relativity paradoxes such as the grandparents paradox–a timetraveller preventing his grandparents from meeting and so preventing his own time travel. The authors of the study believe that such paradoxes can be resolved in a quantum regime, because a quantum model of closed timelike curves–such as traversable wormholes–can be formulated consistently with relativity” CONTINUE READING: www.educatinghumanity.com/2014/06/physicists-achieve-time-travel.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EducatingHumanity+%28Educating+Humanity%29

ufodigest.com/article/black-mirror-0728 TIME TRAVEL AND THE BLACK MIRRORBy Dirk Vander Ploeg July 28, 2014 Sometimes it is best to hear directly from the Experiencers themselves and we feel this is one of those times. The following account describes what the HR Team believes is time travel. If it is not Time Travel in the literal sense, this may have been interdimensional travel. In any case, it is reminiscent of some of Jim Sparks’ and others’ time travel encounters. As other Contact Experiencers were in line to have the technology they are viewing and the procedures on how to use it explained to them, our subject immediately remembers what the device is and how to use it. They quickly walk to the front of the line and request to be the first one in. In the subject’s own words: “The procedure was to stand in front of a device which appears as a black mirror. Its size is approximately six feet tall and about two to three feet wide. While standing in front of it you have to focus your thoughts very deeply into the black mirror. This involves the part of your brain that is considered the ‘third eye’ or ‘inner control.’ It’s the same part of the brain or mind people use when trying to block severe pain and enter altered states.” “I focused my mind into the device and once I did this, I could see what was on the other side. Once this was achieved, I could physically move myself through the device into another time or dimension. I went through and immediately found myself on what I knew to be another planet.” “I saw herd animals that I didn’t recognize and chasing the animals was what seemed like American Indians, but these men didn’t really look like that. They were earlier than that: pre-Indians. They had no guns and I didn’t see any bows and arrows either. Their only weapon was a thing that looked like a whip, but it was made out of a lot of long strands of something. I couldn’t identify it, and the strands were not braided. They were individual strands of something. This was their only weapon. I watched one man raise his ‘whip’ to me and I reached out and felt it. It was soft and although it could sting if you were hit hard enough, I don’t think it would really cause any severe damage. “While I was observing everything, I was reporting back to my team and our team leader who was on the other side of the black mirror, telling him and my group everything I was seeing. A desert like landscape…. The prehistoric looking animals…. The men with dark reddish tan skin…. I knew I was in another dimension. That’s what I said initially upon entering via the ‘mirror’ – ‘I’m in another dimension!’ ” “The men dressed similar to American Indians but they had on long pants and didn’t wear shirts. Their pants appeared as light colored leather. Their whips were dark brown. Their skin was very tan with a red tint. I’m not sure any longer about the details of the herd animals. I went through this place and saw all of this quite quickly because we are not to stay too long. This was something I had done before because I knew about the black mirror device and how to use it.

www.scientificamerican.com/article/time-travel-simulation-resolves-grandfather-paradox/ Time Travel Simulation Resolves “Grandfather Paradox” What would happen to you if you went back in time and killed your grandfather? A model using photons reveals that quantum mechanics can solve the quandary—and even foil quantum cryptographySep 2, 2014 By Lee Billings Entering a closed timelike curve tomorrow means you could end up at today. Credit: Dmitry Schidlovsky On June 28, 2009, the world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking threw a party at the University of Cambridge, complete with balloons, hors d'oeuvres and iced champagne. Everyone was invited but no one showed up. Hawking had expected as much, because he only sent out invitations after his party had concluded. It was, he said, "a welcome reception for future time travelers," a tongue-in-cheek experiment to reinforce his 1992 conjecture that travel into the past is effectively impossible. But Hawking may be on the wrong side of history. Recent experiments offer tentative support for time travel's feasibility—at least from a mathematical perspective. The study cuts to the core of our understanding of the universe, and the resolution of the possibility of time travel, far from being a topic worthy only of science fiction, would have profound implications for fundamental physics as well as for practical applications such as quantum cryptography and computing. Closed timelike curvesThe source of time travel speculation lies in the fact that our best physical theories seem to contain no prohibitions on traveling backward through time. The feat should be possible based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as the warping of spacetime by energy and matter. An extremely powerful gravitational field, such as that produced by a spinning black hole, could in principle profoundly warp the fabric of existence so that spacetime bends back on itself. This would create a "closed timelike curve," or CTC, a loop that could be traversed to travel back in time. Hawking and many other physicists find CTCs abhorrent, because any macroscopic object traveling through one would inevitably create paradoxes where cause and effect break down. In a model proposed by the theorist David Deutsch in 1991, however, the paradoxes created by CTCs could be avoided at the quantum scale because of the behavior of fundamental particles, which follow only the fuzzy rules of probability rather than strict determinism. "It's intriguing that you've got general relativity predicting these paradoxes, but then you consider them in quantum mechanical terms and the paradoxes go away," says University of Queensland physicist Tim Ralph. "It makes you wonder whether this is important in terms of formulating a theory that unifies general relativity with quantum mechanics."

humansarefree.com/2015/02/nikola-tesla-time-travel-experiments.html Nikola Tesla: Time Travel ExperimentsFebruary 12, 2014 There are places where time and space are naturally bent. An example is the strange Lordsburg Door, located near Lordsburg, New Mexico. Periodically, as the door opens, a tree stump with a human leg embedded in it is seen near mile marker 17 out on US highway 90. There is some evidence that these fluxes in space and time can be artificially induced. This appears to have been the case with the USS Eldritch, which took part in the Philadelphia Experiment on August 15, 1943. The brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla and the theoretician Albert Einstein are both reported to have been involved in this experiment. The object was to render the ship invisible by wrapping the hull in inch-thick cable though which a high-frequency signal from an elaborate system of generators and Tesla coils was induced. The results were disastrous. When activated, the ship generated a green fog and disappeared from Philadelphia, reappearing in Norfolk Harbor 24 hours later. Many of the crew ended up embedded in the walls of the ship. Others became insane. Some were mercifully dispatched with a pistol shot to the head. Here is a written account from one of the few survivors of the 176 man crew. Tesla was a genius of such magnitude that some doubt that he was actually human. Many of Tesla’s inventions, like the “free energy receiver” and the long-range “death ray” may have been suppressed to prevent the collapse of the electrical utility, coal and oil industries or for reasons of National Security. Tesla also attempted an experiment to use the core of the Earth like a “tuning fork” to conduct “free” electricity. In the process, he melted the town generator of Colorado Springs. At exactly the same time, an unexplained explosion in Siberia of about 15 megatons leveled hundreds of square miles of pine forests. This explosion is often dismissed as a comet or meteor impact. After his death in New York City, Tesla’s files and notes on death rays and other matters were confiscated by the FBI. Some of the FBI files on Tesla were published on the Internet under the Freedom of information act, but these have since been removed.

True or not, it's still an interesting read. Al Bielek discusses what he remembers from his 6 weeks spent in the year 2137 and 2 years he spent in 2749. One thing that I should stress is that many of the events he described as having happened, is happening now in our present time. The New World Order takeover and devastating climate change to name a few. The Montauk Project was a series of secret United States government projects conducted at Camp Hero or Montauk Air Force Station on Montauk, Long Island for the purpose of developing psychological warfare techniques and exotic research including time travel. Jacques Vallée describes allegations of the Montauk Project as an outgrowth of stories about the Philadelphia Experiment. Al describes what he remembers after he jumped off the U.S.S. Eldridge on August 13th 1943 – Date of the Philadelphia Experiment. He found himself with his brother, Duncan Cameron, in a hospital of the future for 6 weeks, recovering from radiation injuries. The medical system of that future used vibrational and light treatments. The TV programs were educational and news programs. That’s where he noticed that earth changes caused a lot of geographical changes that began in beginning of 21st century until 2025. The coastlines and interior of the U.S. and Europe were drastically different from the way they are now. The water level had risen and Florida was reduced to the panhandle only. Atlanta, GA was only 3 miles from the ocean.The Mississippi became an inland waterway. The Great Lakes became one large lake. The U.S. Infrastructure had collapsed. The U.S. and Canada were no longer refered to as nations. A loose form of local martial law existed 2137. Central government was gone.

ufodigest.com/article/communication-future-discovered-0419COMMUNICATION FROM THE FUTURE DISCOVERED AND PROVEN TO BE REAL!By Robert Torres April 19, 2015 Did you know that there was a study conducted to see if someone from the future was here present in our time? Yes, it’s true! Astrophysicists - Robert Nemiroff and Teresa Wilson at Michigan Tech University did just that as reported in 2014. They figured that if someone from the future traveled back to our time, there may be trace evidence. Someone may have done internet searches of future events. The search dates would have been prior to the events and would stand out that way. Enough of them traced to one user would reveal a pattern of advanced knowledge. After exhausting their funds, the results of that study remained inconclusive. However, in response to a question posted on one website asking: “Do you believe communication through time would be possible?” I replied that “I believe it has already happened.” Only because I believe that our near future thinkers will be quantum computers with artificial intelligence. I believe that not only would they be able to figure it out, but man has figured it out already. What? Yes, what we once believed to be impossible is already proven science fact. So although this is complicated, I’ll simplify what’s involved for you. Hopefully the science behind it will become easy to understand. Now I want you to keep in mind that it concerns faster than light communication called “superluminal” which Einstein dismissed as impossible. Although being one of the discoverers of this phenomena he dismissed it because it violated his own speed limit of light. According to Einstein, nothing in the universe could travel faster. Communication through time however also violates another law called “causality.” The law of causality simply means that any event must have a cause and the cause must happen before the event. For an example, I often use a glass of milk: I drop a glass of milk, it falls to the floor and breaks, spilling the milk. Then you see and hear it fall from the cause of me dropping it in the first place. You could never see it break before I dropped it because time as we experience it occurs from past to future. This is called the arrow of time or “Eddington’s Arrow” named after Sir Arthur Eddington who coined the phrase in 1927. It drops, falls to the floor, it breaks and then you see it. All one straight line from the past to the future. But many paranormal phenomena like supernatural abilities which many throughout history have claimed to possess are based on violating these laws. ESP, telekinesis, precognition and many other psi abilities do just that. Many famous psychics like the late Edgar Cayce claimed to leave his body to retrieve information from the Akashic Record which goes by many other names. Some call it the Astral Planes, The Book of Life, universal consciousness, collective consciousness, etc… It is what some believe makes psychic abilities possible.

ufodigest.com/article/cosmos-0423 COSMOS SPACE TIME TRAVELBy Theresa J Morris April 23, 2015 What is the nature of our own personal universe if not to unify and reach out to others beyond our control in space time travel? I know that in my universe of galaxies and worlds exist black holes that we do not understand yet however, some of us do due to what we call worm holes and worm travel beyond the imagination in this way of existence we now perceive as reality. It may be that physicists are still trying to understand that which some of us already understand and knows exist in our way of being, doing, having, and knowing. Why is it that some of us work outside and beyond the known three dimensional working world way of thinking which we all agree to in the law of the universe we unified as the critical mass mind way of being, doing, having, and knowing as our own reality? We have an agreement that is constantly evolving and changing in this world of which we co-create together with our own thoughts which are energy. We have an agreement with others who are more advanced than we are who have evolved over billions if not trillions of what we call earth years as 365 days in a year on planet earth revolving around the sun. It's time to wake up to the fact that we create our own universe inside the known universe we call home inside our own minds. Most people have no way to study the mind outside of their own existence in this reality of what we call the world of humanoid sentient intelligent beings. The Internet was first conceived by J.C.K. Licklider. Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, known simply as J. C. R. or "Lick", was an American psychologist and computer scientist who is considered one of the most important figures in computer science and general computing history.

mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/08/trying-to-find-time-travelers/ Trying To Find Time Travelers August 19, 2015 by Nick Redfern A few days ago I was interviewed on a Canadian morning radio show about my research into so-called “cryptids.” We’re talking about the Chupacabra, lake-monsters, Mothman, and so on. During the course of the interview the host – in a very lighthearted fashion – asked me if I thought it was possible that what people are seeing might be animals extinct in our world today, but which are time-traveling back and forth from the periods when they were alive. Because that’s the kind of question daytime radio asks, right? I told the host I’m actually quite open to the idea that at least some of our cryptids may originate in other realms, or dimensions, of existence. Which had him momentarily stuck for words, I’m pleased to say. But, I added, that’s very different to imagining Bigfoot has a Delorean-style time-machine to traverse countless millennia. Even I have limits on what’s feasible and what isn’t. Well, most of the time I do. Okay, some of the time. So, I said it was pretty unlikely. Even though, admittedly, I have to say I have heard a few stories broadly along those lines. It was, however, the host’s words that led to an interesting question from one of the listeners, when the lines were opened up. She wanted to talk not about cryptids, but about that time travel issue. Not, as I was expecting or anticipating, from the perspective of whether it’s feasible. Rather, from the perspective of how we might actually go about finding time-travelers, if they really are among us. Of course, to accept that time-travelers are with us – right here, on 21st century Earth – requires that we acknowledge time-travel is a reality. And by time-travel, I mean from the perspective of the caller, of me, and of most people: the ability to travel back and forth throughout the centuries and to witness world-changing, historic events. You know, sci-fi stuff: Back to the Future, The Philadelphia Experiment. Without solid proof of their reality, time-travel concepts remain things to ponder upon, to consider, and to be entertained by. But, let’s go back to that question put to me: if time-travelers are here, where are they and how do we find them? I have to concede that on more than a few occasions I have wondered if the Men in Black might be time-surfing entities, doing their best – but spectacularly failing – to blend in. Let’s face it, their clothing – 1950s-era Mafia suits and your great-granddad’s fedora hats – is out of time. Their mode of transport – old-time Cadillac cars – is out of time, even though there is still a cool air about it. They have even asked witnesses, on more than a few occasions: “What time is it?” Maybe they’re actually asking what year they’re in. Or even what century. After all, constantly jumping back and forth has got to rattle a few brain cells, which may explain their often-reported clumsiness and odd actions. That or the beer is much stronger now than the stuff they serve in the 27th century. If so, thank God I’m a product of the 20th century. If time-travelers are here, right now, I would suggest that tracking down a Man in Black or several might be a good place to start. Granted, there are numerous theories for what the MIB might be, but that doesn’t mean we should avoid the more controversial angles.

Wells' "The Time Machine" came out in 1895, but fictional people have been hopping through time and space for hundreds of years, from the Hindu sacred text the "Mahabharata" to the 12th-century medieval text De nugis curialium. But just because people have been thinking about time travel for centuries now doesn't mean all of their accounts make sense. Here are the seven of the worst time travel concepts to be found in modern fiction. These explanations for time travel, given what scientists currently know, are total nonsense. So science fiction that doesn't even try to explain its time travel, such as "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," or that brushes past explanation with non-answers like the infamous "wibbly wobbly timey-wimey" line in "Doctor Who" don't count. 7. Star TrekCredit: Paramount Pictures The original "Star Trek" often walked the line between what writers call "hard science fiction" and "soft science fiction" — i.e. the difference between scrupulously researched hypotheses and techno-magic. But perhaps the classic 1966 TV show's most egregious scientific misstep was in season 1 episode 21, "Tomorrow is Yesterday," when the Enterprise crew first traveled through time by slingshotting around the sun. That's right, twice in the episode, the Enterprise travels hundreds of years through time by moving at an extremely high speed relative to a celestial body with a strong gravitational pull. That pull supposedly created a "time warp," thus "slingshotting" the ship into the past (in the beginning of the episode) or the future (at the end of the episode). There is some method to this madness: The writers were clearly inspired by Einstein's theory of relativistic travel, which states that starships traveling at high speeds through space would experience time at a slower rate than on the planets they left behind, thus achieving a form of time travel into the future. And the initial "slingshot" time travel into the past is achieved using the gravitational pull of a black star. There's a kernel of veracity buried here: Black hole singularities do distort the space-time around them, so theoretically if a ship were to get caught in its gravitational pull and then escape, it would have traveled into the future relative to its onboard timekeeping system. But time travel into the past is a much different creature than time travel to the future, and if time itself can't escape from a black hole, how could a starship? What's worse, the "slingshot effect" was a pivotal plot point in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," the movie that effectively marked the end of the original "Star Trek" franchise. (Editor's Note: this entry was updated to correct the episode in which slingshotting was first used. 6. Escape from the Planet of the ApesCredit: Paramount Pictures The third in the "Planet of the Apes" series begins with the Earth being destroyed in a massive nuclear explosion. Three apes escape the destruction by restoring a spaceship and flying away from the doomed planet, but they're caught in a shock wave and end up going through a time warp — a catchall for time travel in science fiction — created by the explosion. What the "Planet of the Apes" crew is talking about sounds more like a wormhole, which is a theoretical tunnel through space-time that could also be used to travel faster than light or, possibly, travel forward or back in time. According to current understanding, creating a wormhole requires large amounts of a theoretical substance called dark matter. Dark matter has nothing to do with a nuclear explosion. Now, it's true that no one's ever blown up the Earth to see what would happen, so it's impossible to say for sure, but it's pretty safe to say that the titular escape in "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" has no scientific basis, and just amounts to yet another example of Hollywood solving all its plot problems with explosions. 5. Dr. WhoCredit: Paramount Pictures This long-running British television show is infamous for playing fast and loose with time travel. But even for a show whose main character travels unrestricted through time and space, the beings known as Weeping Angels are kind of a stretch, albeit terrifyingly cool. That whole thing about how they kill people by sending them back in time so they "live to death," and then feed off of the "potential energy" of all the things their victims would have done in their original time — that's ridiculous. First of all, how would the act of sending someone back in time create energy? Take the idea of opening a traversable wormhole through time and space, a theory of time travel that appears to be supported by Einstein's General Relativity. Opening that wormhole would require an enormous amount of energy known as dark energy, or negative energy. That aside, when a person goes into a traversable wormhole, there's no reason he or she would leave behind potential energy of what would have been. It's poetic, but scientifically speaking it doesn't make much sense, even for "Doctor Who."

Don't Forget To Punch Sea Level Variability Into Your Tardis Punctual time travel depends on how fast the Earth spins Can sea level changes help explain variations over the last 3,000 years?by Scott K. Johnson / arstechnica.com/author/scott-johnson/ Jun 3, 2016 Adrien Hebert Want to set your time machine to catch a solar eclipse with a group of curious Mesopotamians in the year 700 BCE? It's not as simple as you think. You need to adjust for the subtle slowing of Earth’s rotation over time and know the history of sea level change—and even those bits of knowledge might not be able to get you there on time. That's the conclusion that a team led by Harvard’s Carling Hay reached when they looked at what the ancient astronomical record tells us about our planet's timekeeping. Tidal forces caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon act like a brake on the spinning Earth, gradually increasing the length of the day. It takes a long time for this to add up to anything meaningful, but the Earth has been around a long time: 400 million years ago, each year contained 400 days. At the current rate, days are growing just a couple milliseconds longer per century, so it would take more than 3.5 million years to add a minute. This is not the answer to your plea for more time in the day to tackle your workload. But if you were to compare two clocks, an atomic clock ticking away with perfect accuracy and another clock kept precisely in sync with the Sun, those milliseconds would accumulate faster than you might think. If the two clocks read the exact same time in 500 BCE, by the current day they would be 5 hours apart. So if your time machine works on the sort of time an atomic clock measures, you might not arrive at the time of day you intended. The braking provided by tidal forces isn’t quite the whole story here. Researchers have taken advantage of careful observations made by astronomers over the ages of celestial events like eclipses to work out how our two clocks would actually have diverged over the last 3,000 years. By winding back a virtual Solar System, we can calculate the time and position in the sky those events should have occurred and use that to explore the Earth’s slowing rotation. The leap second: Because our clocks are more accurate than the Earth The Earth's lurches are erratic, so we don't even know when the next one is needed. If we simulate the slowdown due to tidal forces alone, we get a greater difference between the clocks than these historical observations indicate—we're spinning faster than we should be. Some sort of acceleration of the Earth’s spin has counteracted part of that slowdown. What’s more, the change in the length of the day hasn’t been perfectly constant—there appear to have been some ups and downs along the way. What could explain these discrepancies? To answer that question, we need to brush off the familiar example of the angular momentum of a spinning figure skater that is usually used to explain spin acceleration. The tighter a skater brings his or her arms to the body, the faster the skater spins. Push the arms out, and the rotation slows. The difference in spin speed is all about the distribution of mass, and this applies to the Earth just as well. Pacific Ocean temperatures can add a tenth of a millisecond to your day. For example, a lower sea level near the equator resulting from the formation of high-latitude ice sheets can speed up the Earth’s rotation slightly. But those ice sheets also depress the bedrock beneath them, squishing the mantle around a bit and redistributing some mass in a different way. Melt away the ice, and that rock slowly bounces back. All of this shifting of mass has an effect on the speed of rotation. So perhaps the small variations in global sea level (prior to modern climate change) over the past few thousand years can explain the variations in the lengthening of the day. That’s the idea that the team set out to test. The researchers used a precise reconstruction of global sea level over the past 3,000 years and a complex model that accounts for variations in regional sea level caused by a myriad of factors. For an extreme test, all of the changes in global sea level are assigned to losses (or gains) of glacial ice rather than warming or cooling of the oceans, which shouldn’t change the Earth’s distribution of mass. The results of these simulations were used to calculate changes in the Earth’s rate of rotation, which the team compared to our records from historical eclipse observations. The simulated effect was apparent but not overwhelming. The influence of sea level could explain part of the most recent wiggle in the rotation trend around 1200 CE, but it didn’t really get close to explaining the earlier wiggles around 500 CE and 700 BCE. Those earlier wiggles are based on only a couple of eclipse observations, though, so we're less certain about the exact timing of things there. Sea level probably has played a role in the story of time over the last millennium, but other factors must have been involved as well—particularly prior to that. Factors could include shifting exchanges of angular momentum between the Earth’s liquid outer core and the mantle. Tracking down the cause of a few extra milliseconds added to the length of the day is no simple task. We tend to be most interested in studies that present confident explanations, but results that quantify subtler relationships—or rule out certain explanations—push science forward just as well. In this case, the crazy fact that we’re very precisely working out how the Earth’s spin rate changes over time only gets more interesting as it gets more complex. arstechnica.com/science/2016/06/punctual-time-travel-depends-on-how-fast-the-earth-spins/

www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2016/12/malevolent-traveler.htmlFriday, December 30, 2016 Malevolent TravelerPosted by Lon Strickler / plus.google.com/+LonStrickler I recently received the following account: I had a disturbing experience when I was younger. My family was on a day trip by car and we stopped at a fast food restaurant to eat. We walk in and immediately I was overcome with a 'sense' of extreme dread and fear. I soon noticed a man eating by himself. He was pale-skinned and wearing a white pull-over shirt. He also had on a yellow knitted cap. The hair was sticking out of it as if he had been wearing this for a long period of time. I was extremely frightened with a feeling of evil that was overwhelming. His looks didn't alarm me, but his aura was ominous. I immediate lost my appetite because of my sense of terror. I couldn't help but look over at this man. He was also moving in very slow and deliberate. As I looked closer, his fingernails were long and bluish in color. His eyes were black, which stood out against his pale skin. I tried to get my parents to notice but they continued talking. Apparently no one else was picking up this vibration of malevolence. Eventually I abruptly interrupted their conversation and said, 'look at that man over there,' while nodding in his direction. My father turned and said 'which man?' That quickly, the strange man had disappeared. There was no trace of him. I had only taken my eyes off of him for a few seconds. He simply vanished. I still felt his presence. In fact, I felt like he was near me for the rest of the day. I have never had that same feeling since that day, but I know I have seen the same strange man on several occasions. I truly believe that the he was actually there and that he somehow disappeared into an alternate realm. As well, I think that he continues to do so. Could he be sending me or others a message?

cosmosmagazine.com/physics/computer-solves-a-major-time-travel-problem 11 October 2016 Computer solves a major time travel problem The ‘grandfather paradox’ of time travel has been puzzling philosophers, quantum physicists and novelists for years. Now there’s an answer as Cathal O’Connell reports.by Cathal O'Connell / cosmosmagazine.com/contributors/cathal-o-connellIt is more than 120 years since H.G. Wells published The Time Machine, the novel that was to popularise the concept of time travel and lead to myriad stories on the theme. But it is only now that we have finally developed a plotline for time travel that makes logical sense – and it has been penned by a machine. The breakthrough involves the grandfather paradox – that favourite plaything of philosophers where somebody travels into the past and kills their own grandfather, preventing the existence of one of their parents, and therefore their own. But the problem is, if the protagonist doesn’t exist, then how could they go back in time to set off the chain of events in the first place? The paradox is often extended, in various guises, to regard any action that alters the past – such as Marty McFly avoiding the amorous attention of his mother, Lorraine, and ensuring she marries his father, George, in Back to the Future. Meanwhile, physicists such as Stephen Hawking use the impossibility of such causal chains (called, in physics-speak, “closed time-like curves”) to argue that travel into the past must be impossible. There has, of course, always been the possible solution that invokes the “many worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics. That says that when you travel back in time you end up in an alternate universe, so any damage you might wreak affects that universe only, not the one you were born in. That solution works, but it requires the existence of many alternate universes and for your time machine to double as a universe hopper. Resolving the paradox with just one universe has proved trickier. Now, Doron Friedman, a computer scientist at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, has employed automated reasoning to tackle the problem, with his work published on the arXiv (meaning it is yet to go under peer-review). Time travel plotlines can be brain-meltingly difficult to follow. But Friedman designed a program that can readily track the back and forth chain of events – and their logical consistency (or lack thereof). He used a simplified version of the paradox, in which the protagonist goes back in time and kills his own father. When Friedman ran this plotline through his program, it noticed the paradox by reporting a contradiction – namely that if the son travels back in time and kills his father, then how could the son have been conceived? And when Friedman requested a resolution to the contradiction, the algorithm worked through thousands of possible scenarios to find those that were logically consistent – in other words, where the murderous son’s actions don’t rub him out of existence. There were many possible solutions, apparently, but in the paper, Friedman describes two of them. CONTINUE READING: cosmosmagazine.com/physics/computer-solves-a-major-time-travel-problem

“Unlike the physical world, the digital sphere allows you to ‘go back in time’, make a change, and observe the consequences,” he writes. Every word processor has an “undo” function to roll back errant prose. And if you make a mistake in a video game, you can return to a previous save-point and try again.
Travelling forward and backward in virtual reality could help people track the consequences of decisions while being trained for a new job. Or it could help a person in psychological therapy deal with the ramifications of a traumatic experience.

I like this idea very much. 😃
I "seem" to do something like this in my own "dream-land", and it's eye-opening.
I will dream of a past scenario that seems very real. I react a certain way (usually with way too much emotion), and there are "consequences". I wake up upset, slowly evaluate that it wasn't how "things" happpened, and breath a sigh of relief! 😁 Lol

www.freaklore.com/time-traveler-warns-of-future-earth#.WKNjnX-F_hd Time traveler warns of future EarthPosted by Terry Larch / www.freaklore.com/ February 14, 2017 A time traveler spent two years into our future, he mentioned just how much our world will change. By the year 2749, both our population and landscape will be dramatically altered. How humanity lives will be quite different as well, by the comparison of today. The remaining survivors, will press onward surviving on an Earth which is unlike anything known from before. The mans name is Al Bielek, a controversy surrounds his statements and even his background—as it is suspected that his identification has been forged for a reason. The question is, whether or not this was done intentionally. Is what he said actual truth or one elaborated story? Al Bielek discussed what he remembered from spending six weeks in our distant future. He recalls the year, it was 2137. Later, he went further forward in time living in 2749 for several more years thereafter. What is now happening on Earth, is accurate to what Al Bielek mentioned. Perhaps it is a sign of the times, as The New World Order prepares to takeover the rule of Earth. Climate change is happening and is real, recently in California—the Oroville Dam gave way as nearly 200,000 people had to evacuate their homes. Other devastating geological events have been happening around the world as well. Al Bielek was a part of the Montauk Project, this was a series of government funded projects conducted at “Camp Hero” also known as Montauk Air Force Station on Montauk located in Long Island, NY. The purpose of this project, was to develop various warfare techniques and to conduct further research pertaining to time travel itself. Al remembers jumping off the U.S.S. Eldridge on August 13th of 1943. This moment is known as the Philadelphia Experiment. Al found himself along with his brother Duncan Cameron inside a hospital of sorts. Both of the men were recovering from radiation injuries. They would spend six weeks here. The care they received consisted of a newfound medical technology using vibration and lighting of some sort. Television apparently still exists and what was being displayed on futuristic monitoring devices were programs mostly news and educational oriented. Many geographical changes started in the beginning of the 21st century until 2025. The USA coastlines, along with the interior parts of both Europe and North America, were dramatically different than they are now. Water levels reached across some areas, covering major parts of Florida. Atlanta, Georgia was a mere 3 miles away from the Atlantic Ocean from this point. Al went on to explain that Mississippi became an inland waterway and the Great Lakes merged together into one large lake. The United States infrastructure collapses in the future as both the United States and Canada were no longer considered nations any longer. Martial law was happening in the year 2137. A centralized form of government no longer existed either. The magnetic poles on Earth began to start shifting, however an artificial series of structures were set into place. This prevents the collapse and reversal of the magnetic poles of Earth. As a result of this, the poles did not flip. The worlds population was reverted to 300 million people compared to 7.5 billion currently in 2017. In the United States, the population dipped towards 50 million. Al Bielek also says that from the start of 1954 until the year 2000 our government worked alongside extraterrestrial entities as we acquired more technology into our hands. It is rather foolish to think we invented the internet randomly, without aliens pointing us into the right direction of new ways. Eventually, our reverse engineering of alien methods, progresses and digresses humanity. Problems happen between 2003-2005 for humanity, as the New World Order began taking over our planet in secret to the mainstream. In our not so distant future, a war will wage between both the Russians and the Chinese—along with the rest of Europe and the United States. A number of cities will be destroyed in America. Eventually, the New World Order will collapse. The future brings forth a new technology, which reduces the radiation damage from nuclear devices after only several days. We apparently have already tapped into this technology but governments refuse to use it for political reasons. World War 3 leaves a mess which needs cleaned up, for humans to survival. Al continued to talk about what he learned from being in the future. He said he was taken back to the year 2137 to pickup his brother Duncan. From this moment they were both returned to the year 1983 from where they departed. Al continued to describe enormous ground based floating cities which simply hovered about the Earth’s surface. What is known as the Synthetic Intelligence Computer System would control everything. A super computer program that removed even the need for governments to exist any longer. The structures were made from crystalline type materials. Telepathy is used to community as well and the structure of society is entirely socialistic. Basic human needs for survival such as food and drink are all taken care of for everyone. No longer will be starve and have to work so hard to exist. In some ways, this society is a utopia of sorts and a world unlike anything we live today.

theconversation.com/heres-how-doctor-whos-time-machine-measures-up-with-real-instruments-of-space-and-time-75993?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social#?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2016twitterdlvrit Here’s how Doctor Who’s time machine measures up with real instruments of space and timeApril 11, 2017 by Martin Archer / theconversation.com/profiles/martin-archer-232541There’s no denying that we’ve seen some absolutely staggering accomplishments in physics in the past year or so, particularly in our ability to measure space and time with unprecedented levels of detail. But being a lifelong “Whovian” excited about Doctor Who returning to our screens once again, I wondered how these accomplishments stacked up to those of the fictional Time Lords. The crowning achievement of the Doctor has to be the TARDIS, the blue box from the show that’s bigger on the inside and allows the Doctor and his companions to travel “all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will” as Matt Smith’s eleventh Doctor once put it. But throughout the history of the show, the Doctor’s TARDIS has shown itself to be rather unreliable, regularly turning up at the wrong place or time. Given these faults we might think that the TARDIS isn’t quite what it’s cracked up to be. While the show has featured many, often conflicting, descriptions of how the TARDIS works, the key to the Time Lords’ time travelling ability seems to be the “Eye of Harmony”, essentially a star in an eternal state of collapsing into a black hole. In terms of real science though, the same theory that predicted black holes – Einstein’s general relativity – has solutions which permit time travel (in fact one possible way of doing this has been given the name TARDIS). Whether nature actually allows such solutions to exist is still an open debate among theoretical physicists, and even if time travel could happen we certainly don’t know how to build a time machine. So we’ll just have to compare the Doctor’s TARDIS with our best instruments of simply measuring time and space.

So we’ll just have to compare the Doctor’s TARDIS with our best instruments of simply measuring time and space. How good is the TARDIS? What we really need to compare here are these instruments’ relative precision. A simple way of thinking of this is as the ratio of the smallest thing you can measure with an instrument to the largest. In the case of a metre ruler that would be 1 millimetre compared to 1,000 millimetres (a metre), or simply one in 1,000. Measuring space In terms of measuring space our best ruler by far is advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Gravitational waves are mysterious ripples in the fabric of space and time that travel across our universe at the speed of light – stretching space in one direction and shrinking it in the direction that is at right angles. LIGO was the experiment that last year directly detected the minute changes in distances travelled by light beams, caused by gravitational waves. These changes in distance are some 1,000-10,000 times smaller than the size of the nucleus of an atom, and they’re detected over a four-kilometre distance. That’s a level of sensitivity that’s up to one part in 1023 – a huge number consisting of a one with 23 zeros after it: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Now, considering the TARDIS’s playing field is “all of space”, it’s staggering that even when it turns up at the wrong place it simply manages to land on the right planet (usually Earth). The observable universe is some 1027 metres in diameter while the Earth’s is a comparatively tiny 1.3m metres. So simply being able to find our planet within only the observable universe is a feat requiring some one in 1070 relative precision. And that number only gets bigger when we consider how big the universe might extend beyond what’s actually visible. Measuring time When it comes to time, scientists have been developing new atomic clocks which are much better than the old Caesium ones that have been used to define what a second is. All these new clocks essentially count the number of waves of specific colours of visible light emitted by atoms – a unique property of each element. Our current best clock uses Ytterbium atoms and is stable enough to yield relative precision a little less than one in 1018. But how do you compare this to the TARDIS? As it covers everything that ever happened or ever will happen, we need to essentially find out when the universe will die to be able to make a comparison. It’s currently 13.8 billion-years-old, but that’s still a very long way ahead. Given our current understanding of the amount of matter and energy in the universe, it won’t be until some 10100 years that all of the stars, planets and galaxies will have died, all protons and neutrons will have decayed and even all the supermassive black holes will have evaporated. This is what is known as the heat death of the universe. Given that in the show, the TARDIS tends to turn up only a few years or a decade or so off the intended target, a ballpark figure for the TARDIS’s precision in time is around one in 10100. So despite it seemingly looking a bit rubbish in the show from time to time, we’ve still got a long way to go before we can match it. This is certainly something I’ll be keeping in mind when watching the show. theconversation.com/heres-how-doctor-whos-time-machine-measures-up-with-real-instruments-of-space-and-time-75993?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social#?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2016twitterdlvrit

www.cnet.com/news/time-travel-math-tardis-ben-tippett-exotic-matter-negative-mass/?ftag=COS-05-10aaa0b&linkId=37015940 Time travel is 'possible' -- mathematically anyway by Eric Mack / www.cnet.com/profiles/ericcmack/ April 28, 2017 A researcher crunches the numbers on time travel using his own TARDIS. Also, a weird new material could be the real-world version of a flux capacitor. Sci-TechThe math backs up Doctor Who's favorite means of travel. TARDIS image by Sceptre, CC BY-SA 2.5; Boomerang Nebula image by ESA/NASA, public domain Pull out your list of regrets, mistakes and runs of just plain bad luck, because it turns out you can go back. A University of British Columbia professor has run the numbers on the feasibility of time travel, and he says they check out. "People think of time travel as something fictional," math and physics instructor Ben Tippett said in a news release Thursday. "And we tend to think it's not possible because we don't actually do it. But, mathematically, it is possible." It's a finding that's sure to inject new energy and vigor into late-night, half-sober arguments about the morality of traveling back in time to assassinate Adolf Hitler before his rise to power. Tippett created a formula based on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which states that huge cosmic objects like stars and black holes distort space and time. The recent detection of gravitational waves created by distant colliding black holes confirmed Einstein's theory. Large stars can actually cause the fabric of the space-time continuum to curve, which Tippett says contributes to the curved orbits of planets as they move through space. "The time direction of the space-time surface also shows curvature. There is evidence showing the closer to a black hole we get, time moves slower," he explains. "My model of a time machine uses the curved space-time -- to bend time into a circle for the passengers, not in a straight line. That circle takes us back in time." Oh, cool. So all we have to do is build this time-bending machine and we're off to 2012 to bet everything we have on the then-laughably long odds of a European Union without the UK, a US president named Trump and the world champion Chicago Cubs. Actually, Tippett says not so fast, McFly. "While is it mathematically feasible, it is not yet possible to build a space-time machine because we need materials -- which we call exotic matter -- to bend space-time in these impossible ways, but they have yet to be discovered." Tippett's research was published in a recent issue of the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity. Of course, not all physicists are ready to climb aboard Tippett's hypothetical time machine, which he cleverly named the "Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time," or TARDIS, in a nod to the iconic time-traveling booth from "Doctor Who." No less than the world's most famed cosmologist, Stephen Hawking, has said that if time travel is possible, we certainly wouldn't be able to go backward in time. But Tippett's calculations show that his TARDIS, which is really just a conceptual bubble of space-time, can move backward and forward by moving at speeds that would exceed the speed of light at times. I seem to remember another famous brainiac concluding that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light. In fact, it was the same Mr. Einstein that inspired all this far-out speculative math to begin with. However, if it were possible to break that barrier, Einstein said it would be essentially equivalent to time travel. So now that we may have the math down, are we actually any closer to building a time machine and visiting a certain field near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 just to see who shows up? All we need to do is break the speed of light barrier and get ahold of some physics-defying exotic matter that may or may not be real. As it turns out, just this month researchers said they have created a fluid that possesses negative mass, one of the characteristics of the type of exotic matter we'd need to bend time. So you might say we're progressing quite nicely toward making time travel a reality, but it sure would be nice if someone from a future where they've already got it figured out came back to help us out. Time to keep a close eye out for any real-world TARDISes and Time Lords. www.cnet.com/news/time-travel-math-tardis-ben-tippett-exotic-matter-negative-mass/?ftag=COS-05-10aaa0b&linkId=37015940

www.astronomy.com/news/2016/12/is-time-on-our-side Is time on our side?By Richard Talcott / www.astronomy.com/authors/richard-talcott Wednesday, December 07, 2016
Time travel — long a staple of science fiction — may not be too far from reality.All of cosmic history, from near the Big Bang (at upper left) to the engineering marvels of superadvanced civilizations (at lower right), could be reached theoretically in a time machine. Although physicists know time travel into the future is possible, the past may be out of reach. Adolf Schaller; Time Machine: Astronomy: Theo Cobb This story originally appeared in the February 2006 issue of Astronomy.When H. G. Wells put pen to paper in 1895, he started something that shows no sign of abating. The Time Machine, Wells’ first novel, was social commentary disguised as science fiction. But his idea that time travel might be possible has fired the imaginations of authors, screenwriters — and scientists — ever since. Wells proved to be ahead of his time scientifically as well as artistically. He imagined time as occupying the fourth dimension 10 years before Albert Einstein portrayed the cosmos as a 4-dimensional space-time continuum in his special theory of relativity. Einstein’s ideas opened the door to scientific inquiry into time travel. Yet the subject remained fringe science for decades. Not so now. Today, researchers publish articles in leading scientific journals that discuss not only the possibility of time travel but how it might be accomplished. Although the day when you can hop into a time machine and travel anywhere — or anywhen — you want lies a long way off, limited forms of time travel into the future already exist. Thanks to their greater speed, airline passengers emerge from their trips having aged slightly less than their earthbound compatriots. Now, some scientists speculate travel into the past — something Wells’ time traveler could do with the pull of a lever — might be possible one day.

www.strangerdimensions.com/2017/08/26/time-travelers-leave-evidence-1930s-painting/ Did Time Travelers Leave Evidence In This 1930s Mural?Posted by Rob Schwarz / plus.google.com/+RobSchwarz007 August 26, 2017 I honestly don’t know what to do, anymore. For years and years, I’ve warned about the dangers of reckless time travel. And does anyone listen? No, not at all. Irresponsible time traveling tourists are still leaving proof of their future technology in the past! Just look at this: A mural made back in the 1930s appears to show a Native American holding what looks like a modern-day smartphone, his thumb just in the right position to send that latest text. The mural was created in 1937 by Umberto Romano, and is titled “Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield.” According to Motherboard, who recently shared this curious anomaly, it can be found in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Office Building in Springfield, Massachusetts. It’s meant be an artistic representation of the settlers arriving to the area in the 1630s. But that’s beyond the point. Now, we have yet another round of tabloids propagating yet another piece of time travel evidence – each piece bit by bit destroying the very fabric of space and time. The more we see, the more wibbly-wobbly things get. How could the Italian painter Umberto Romano have known about the existence of smartphones so long before they were invented? I’ll tell you how. And you already know, because it’s the same old story. Time tourists, yet again violating the number one rule of time travel: No cell phones. Or, as at least one historian has posited, the object depicted in the mural could be a mirror or small book of some kind. They’re not fooling me, though. www.strangerdimensions.com/2017/08/26/time-travelers-leave-evidence-1930s-painting/

Auntym posted an article on these two gentlemen from "Humans are Free" Feb. 20, 2015.This article is from "Boredom Therapy".Time Traveling Brothers Reveal What The Distant Future Will Be Like By Ryan Unger Boredom Therapy Staff
Time travel is a fantastical concept that most would consider the stuff of science-fiction. While the idea that someone can journey through time and change the course of history is terrifyingly tantalizing, it’s simply just not though to be possible.
But what if it is—and it already happened? If you ask Al Bielek and his brother, Duncan Cameron, they’d tell you that time travel is possible… because they’ve done it. Their apparent journey into the distant future allegedly took place in 1943, and they’ve got some evidence to back up their story.
Whether or not you believe their story is up to you, but they definitely had some very eye-opening things to say when they “returned…”
It’s fascinating to think about the possibility of journeying to another era, but most would agree that time travel isn’t real… or is it? In 1943, a man named Al Bielek and his brother, Duncan Cameron, apparently traveled to the distant future. Upon their return, they had some very startling things to tell the world…
Al and Duncan’s story started in 1943 on Montauk, Long Island. There, the Montauk Air Force Station was allegedly developing psychological warfare techniques that included studying the concept of time travel. The brothers were aboard the USS Eldridge, a top-secret naval ship that could supposedly turn itself invisible and teleport around the world.If that wasn’t crazy enough already, Al and Duncan claim that they jumped off the ship late one evening, and instead of landing in the water, they traveled to the year 2137!
When they arrived, they spent six full weeks lying in hospital beds recovering from intense radiation poisoning. There was no medical staff at the hospital, and they had no clue where the building was located. Apparently, the futuristic medical system that was treating their injuries used vibrations and light. Sounds nuts, right? Well…
There were televisions lining the rooms that were playing educational and news programming, and that was where the brothers learned some very shocking things about the world.
The first thing they learned was that climate change had significantly altered the geography of the United States. The water level had risen around Florida and reduced it to the panhandle only. Likewise, Atlanta, Georgia, was now only three miles from the ocean, the Mississippi River had become an inland waterway, and the Great Lakes had all merged into one massive body of water.
The brothers were also shocked to learn that the Earth’s magnetic poles had started to shift! Thankfully, there was an artificial pole structure that was built to prevent the collapse and reversal of the north and south poles, which would have destroyed all life on the planet.
War had also broken out all across the globe. The Russians went to war with China, and the United States was involved in a devastating conflict with several European countries. A number of major U.S. cities were destroyed, and the infrastructure of the government completely collapsed.
One of the most startling pieces of information the brothers supposedly learned was that the entire world’s population had been reduced to 300 million people, with the United States housing 50 million of them. Now, here’s where the brothers’ story gets even more bizarre…
After spending six weeks in the hospital bed in the year 2137, Al claims he inexplicably left his brother behind and traveled to the year 2749, where he remained for two whole years! Here, he described great floating cities that could be moved to different parts of the Earth.
He also said that everything was controlled by a synthetic intelligence computer system that ran the entire world. No form of government existed, and a huge, crystalline floating computer structure communicated with people telepathically. The society was completely socialistic, and every living person had their basic needs for survival taken care of.
After Al’s time in 2749, he was transported back to 2137 to pick up his brother in the hospital, and the two of them then returned to 1943. Many people called this entire story a hoax, but Al and Duncan have sworn that everything they told people was true. What do you think? Some of it sounds impossible, but then again…
Were Al and Duncan telling the truth about their journey into the future? Only they know for sure. Even if you don’t buy into it, it’s still a fascinating concept to think about.

mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/three-time-traveler-testimonies-show-up-in-same-week/ Three Time Traveler Testimonies Show Up in Same Weekby Paul Seaburn / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/paulseaburn/January 28, 2018 When future historians write future history books, will they look back on the week of January 21st as a period when they sent people back to warn us and we ignored them? If the stories about these ‘time travelers’ are true, what was it about that week that caused two humans from our time claim to show evidence of traveling to the years 3780 and 6000, and one woman from 2100 claim to come from that year as part of her job as a government time traveler? Or did they? Paging Dr. Who. The alleged government time traveler and one of the to-the-future-and-back videos were posted by ApexTV, which claims to be “one of the biggest voices of paranormal on YouTube!” (their exclamation point) and “is know (their misspelling) for their various paranormal videos covering topics such as aliens, teleportation, time travel, ufos, and much much more!” (their exclamation point again – this better be exciting). The faces of the time travelers (including the third) are pixilated for various reasons. By far the most interesting story is Mona’s. In her video (see it here), she claims she works for the U.S. government in 2100 (well, that’s good news – it didn’t get shut down permanently) as an unpaid (so the government is open but it still has no money?) time traveler who has also visited 1950 and 1980. However, she says time travelers have their own underground community where they take care of each other with many “free things” (government freebies still around in 2100?). “Mona” reveals that Europe in 2100 will be more advanced than the U.S. – having flying cars while Americans are still on the ground in electric cars powered by roadside solar panels. The president is a male (sigh) who brings world peace but isn’t the best person (sigh again). Life isn’t all fun and games for Mona and her fellow time travelers – she says it’s stressful and many commit suicide (doesn’t “The Groundhog Day” phenomenon eliminate this?). That’s about all we get from Mona before she cuts off after five minutes. Clara, the woman who traveled to 3780 and back is more verbose (see the video here). Unfortunately, she spends much of her “time” trying to explain time travel – which she says she learned about while in the military for an unspecified country – and why there’s a 2000-year limit on going into the future. The time machine sounds antiquated (metal chairs, needles, named “Isaac”) and she claims the goal was to bring back advanced weapons (what a surprise) but now she’s making the video to warn us today about the danger of a robotic takeover. Unfortunately, the only evidence she’s able to reveal of this deadly AI of the future is something that looks an awful lot like a part from a current PC. The third video (see it here), if it’s true, shows that humanity survives the robot apocalypse of 3780 and makes it to 6000, where an unnamed man in another ApexTV video claims to gone and brought back a photograph of an unnamed city as proof — a photograph that he claims has been blurred by the effects of time travel – something he says also happens to humans, also he seem to be OK (except for that pixelated face). He claims to have also been part of a secret program (why they picked him is a mystery) and he also warns about a superior artificial intelligence that runs things – perhaps it’s a good sign that humans managed to make it from 3780 to 6000 before the AI overlords finally took over. He also talks about miniaturizing humans – just weeks after the premier of a movie on the same subject. Coincidence? Speaking of coincidences, it’s probably one that these videos showed up so close together. Their actual dates of filming are not given, nor the dates that the people actually time-traveled. Their evidence is circumstantial and flimsy at best and really not that interesting. The weapons woman doesn’t bring a weapon and the skinny guy doesn’t bring back food. With that kind of evidence, why do they feel the need to hide their identities? The stories in these videos are truly hard to believe. On the other hand, have we become jaded by the movies and television series we’re seen about time travel? mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/three-time-traveler-testimonies-show-up-in-same-week/

mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/the-weird-world-of-celebrity-immortal-time-travelers/ The Weird World of Celebrity Immortal Time Travelersby Brent Swancer / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/brentswancer/January 30, 2018 Occasionally here on Mysterious Universe I will go out from the strange topics that I cover and truly fly out to catapult myself into new realms of the absurd and the entertaining. It may be deeply weird conspiracy theories or utterly bizarre stuff that defies explanation, but I find it amusing enough to want to dive into it a little and bring it to your attention. Perfectly at home out here in the remote fringe are the various cases of the celebrities that many of us know and love being claimed to be some sort of immortal beings or time travelers, often with the “photographic evidence” to prove it. And so here we go on a trip down the rabbit hole, to look at celebrity doppelgängers throughout history, or are they immortal vampires or time travelers? I’ll let you decide as we go on this journey with tongue firmly in cheek. A really well-known example is that of Nicolas Cage, who has managed to pop up in an old-timey picture from 1870 of a man in Bristol, Tennessee. In 2011, Jack Mord, of Seattle, Washington, stumbled across the original print and then proceeded to put it up for auction on eBay for a cool million dollars. There was much speculation at the time that the photo was some sort of photoshopped hoax, but Mord has been adamant that this is indeed the original, even going so far as to claim that it is proof that Cage is an immortal, saying: Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire… who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now he might be a politician, the leader of a cult or a talk show host. Nicolas Cage, immortal What do you think? Cage is certainly not without his oddness, but how deep does that go? Those who have analyzed the photo have come to the conclusion that although they look very much alike, there are subtle differences in the chin and ears that point to the fact that they are indeed different people. At around the same time there was a print from 1860 that purported to show the famous actor John Travolta in another era. The picture was allegedly uncovered by a man in Ontario, Canada. The unidentified man put up the picture for sale for an eye-watering $50,000, and just like Mord speculated that it was evidence of some sort of strange goings on, saying: I know you are saying John Travolta is alive today in 2011 and he doesn’t look 151 years old. John Travolta is a Scientologist, and many Scientologists believe in a type of reincarnation. Of course, time travel can’t be ruled out as well. John Travolta, obviously a time traveler Keeping with actors for the time being we come to Bruce Willis, who many might not realize is the spitting image of General Doug MacArthur, who was a five-star general and played a prominent Role during World War II. Throughout his illustrious career he earned many medals, including the Medal of Honor. He also looks exactly like Bruce Willis, which has stirred conspiracies that he joins a long line of immortal celebrities. Bruce Willis and General MacArthur. Can you tell which is which? Exactly. From even earlier, in the 13th century, we have the portrait of Pope Gregory IX, who bears a striking resemblance to a certain cinematic pugilist. Pope Rocky? Also going way back is the 1570 portrait by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola that hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, which features a visage that shows the strikingly familiar face of Keanu Reeves. Coincidence or time-travel? Keanu would also later appear 300 years later in a 1875 masterpiece by Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel. There is also the portrait of doctor and actor Paul Mounet, who “died” in 1922 and also happens to look exactly like Keanu Reeves as well. Coincidence or immortality? This fits very well into the fact that Keanu Reeves doesn’t seem to have aged much at all through his career, so what is going on here? Keanu Reeves the timeless Well-known actor Orlando Bloom, star of the Lord of the Rings series of fantasy movies, also seems to have a way of traveling through time, as he is a dead ringer for the Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu, who happens to have died way back in 1907. Or did he? Nicolae Grigorescu (left), Orlando Bloom (right) Other actors that seem to have dabbled in shifting through the sands of time, and/or remained immortal are Alec Baldwin as Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States. Alec Baldwin (right), Millard Fillmore (left) There is Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who seems to have been Sebastián de Morra, also a dwarf and jester at the court of Philip IV of Spain in the 1600s. Peter Dinklage (er, left?), Sebastián de Morra (right) Here is Eddie Murphy in the 1920s, as shown by this picture of an unidentified man of the day. Eddie Murphy Moving on we have Jimmy Fallon, who looks exactly like the Turkish revolutionist and the leader of People’s Liberation Party-Front of Turkey, Mahir Cayan, who died in 1972. Allegedly. What do you think? Jimmy Fallon (right), Mahir Cayan (left) MORE: mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/the-weird-world-of-celebrity-immortal-time-travelers/

www.coasttocoastam.com/article/video-911-caller-encounters-time-traveler/ Video: 911 Caller Encounters Time Traveler?June 05, 2018 A strange piece of footage circulating online purportedly features a 911 call regarding a home invasion which takes a rather fantastic turn that possibly involves a time traveler! Posted online by the YouTube channel Apex TV, the video features audio allegedly recorded by one of the emergency dispatchers who were privy to the call and felt compelled to share it with the world. As is often the case with time traveler videos, specific details surrounding the story are scant with the location of the call and the principal witnesses' identities redacted. Nonetheless, the 11-minute-long conversation between the 911 dispatcher and a frightened woman who suspects that someone has broken into her house is pretty riveting. The beginning of the call largely plays out as one might expect such a scenario to unfold as the woman, named Cathy, explains that she heard glass break in her downstairs bathroom. Claiming to be in her locked bedroom upstairs, Cathy begins to second guess her concerns and, despite the pleas of the 911 dispatcher, decides to investigate the situation herself rather than wait for police to arrive. Things seem to be settle down when Cathy enters the bathroom and sees that the mirror had fallen off of the wall while the window is fine. And then, suddenly, the situation gets strange as she begins hyperventilating. Cathy finally manages to compose herself enough to tell the dispatcher that there is a man with bloody ears seemingly passed out in her bathtub. The drama increases when she lets out a chilling, "wait, wait, John?" and begins reciting the Lord's Prayer. Thoroughly confused by the call by now, the baffled dispatcher asks Cathy who John is and how she knows him. She then reveals that the man appears to be her husband, but that he looks like a much younger version of John from when they first met. And, adding one last bizarre twist to the call, he just so happened to have died in 2001! The call concludes with police arriving on the scene, trying to figure out what they've stumbled upon, and the recording abruptly ends. According to the man who submitted the video, authorities eventually apprehended the man. And, the dispatcher claimed, the entire case was quickly taken over by FBI agents, leaving him in the dark about how things developed from there. Skeptical viewers have dismissed the call as simply nothing more than a proverbial radio drama complete with subpar acting on the part of the participants. Others have theorized that the man in the bathtub really was John and, despite dying seventeen years ago, he had somehow traveled through time to arrive in his wife's home. While that would a truly amazing story, we're a bit dubious about it, since the circumstances which would make that possible sound incredibly convoluted. That said, given the preponderance and popularity of 'time traveler' videos this year, don't be surprised if a proverbial sequel to this story appears at some point in the next few weeks or months that attempts to explain it all. What's your take on the weird video? Let us know at the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page. www.coasttocoastam.com/article/video-911-caller-encounters-time-traveler/ApexTV Published on Jun 4, 2018 This audio file is of a 911 call that was sent to us via email, from a man who claims to have responded to this particular case. The call involves a time traveler and the man who recorded this call was left questioning everything he thought he knew. Is this proof of time travel? What do you think?

mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/07/mysterious-government-time-travel-programs-and-assassinations/ Mysterious Government Time Travel Programs and Assassinationsby Brent Swancer / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/brentswancer/July 26, 2018 Conspiracies of nefarious government plots and shadow projects seem to never get old. The idea that beneath the veneer of what we can see or are shown there are dark deeds and secret experiments into realms beyond our current understanding going on is alluring, often irresistible, and never ceases to amaze, entertain, and incite debate, spawning countless conspiracy theories ranging from the plausible to the absurd. Among the plethora of government conspiracy theories one cannot get much more bizarre than top secret time travel experiments and the potential consequences for whistle-blowers of these shady programs, and here we will look at some very peculiar accounts indeed. By far one of the most outrageous and flat-out bonkers accounts of a secret government-run time travel program comes to us from Seattle, Washington-based attorney Andrew D. Basiago, who in 2004 came forth with a mind-bogglingly weird tale. Basagio claimed that the government had long been involved with a top secret operation he called “Project Pegasus,” which apparently was an umbrella term for a wide variety of strange experiments, involving things such as teleportation, inter-dimensional doorways, and of course time-travel, and which he explained thus: Project Pegasus was the classified, defense-related research and development program under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in which the US defense-technical community achieved time travel on behalf of the US government – the real Philadelphia Experiment. According to Basagio, much of the mysterious project revolved around particularly time travel, especially its potential applications and studying the effects it had on the human body. To this effect he claims that children were often recruited into the program, because it was believed that they were more resilient to any negative effects of these temporal shifts. Indeed, Basagio himself claims that he was one of these children, and that he was involved with these experiments from the age of 7, after which he stayed there from the years 1968 to 1972. It was claimed that the government had several different versions of a time machine, with varying degrees of effectiveness. The most promising was apparently a machine based on alleged plans designed by the famed inventor Nicola Tesla himself, retrieved from his New York apartment after his death in 1943. This fantastic machine supposedly featured two 8-foot-tall “elliptical booms,” between which was funneled what Basagio called “radiant energy,” which could supposedly bend the fabric of space and time. The machine would conjure up a shimmering wall of light, which a user could enter to pass into a “vortal tunnel” and be whisked off to different eras. Using such technology, Basagio says the government had him participate in several different experiments, which included a few time jumps. Two of these jumps purportedly concerned the former president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. In one case, Basagio apparently jumped back to November 19, 1863, where he appeared at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the day just before Lincoln was to give his famous Gettysburg Address. Basagio says that in order to blend in at his destination he had been dressed in period clothes, disguised as a bugle boy, but that his shoes had been too big. Thinking that the ruse wouldn’t work because of the oversized shoes, he claims that he had then wandered away from the crowd, and that he was photographed at the time. Alleged image of Andrew Basagio, time travelerOn a few occasions Basagio says that he was sent back to the Ford Theater on the night of Lincoln’s assassination, at one point even running across his own time-traveling self. Although he did not witness the assassination himself, he does claim to have heard the shot ring out and the subsequent panic and commotion from the crowd. All in all, Basagio claims he made around 8 time jumps utilizing several different technologies, such as the Tesla machine, a “plasma confinement chamber,” and a “jump room.” Rather than time-travel as many may perceive it, Basagio has said that it was more like branching out into alternate realities and timelines, of which he has explained: It was like they were sending us to slightly different alternative realities on adjacent timelines. As these visits began to accumulate, I twice ran into myself during two different visits. After the first of these two encounters with myself occurred, I was concerned that my cover might be blown. Unlike the jump to Gettysburg, in which I was clutching a letter to Navy Secretary Gideon Welles to offer me aid and assistance in the event I was arrested, I didn’t have any explanatory materials when I was sent to Ford’s Theatre. This technology has been refined and developed since its earlier days, claims Basagio, and he has related that at first there were some accidents, including a child who came through one of these portals without his legs. However, is safe now, and Basagio has said that one of the reasons he has come forward with this information is because he believes it to be something the public has a right to know about, and that teleportation or time travel technology could be used for the good of mankind. It is all very much in the vein of a sci-fi film, and should probably be taken with a healthy grain of salt, as this is the same man who claims that he also made several teleportation jumps to a secret base on Mars, accompanied by none other than Barack Obama himself. It is a damn strange and interesting yarn, though. When it comes to time travel, why should the U.S. government have all the fun? The United Kingdom has also allegedly dabbled in such technologies, and this has been brought forward as recently as June of 2018, by a mysterious anonymous man who claims to have been in the employ of the British government. During his time there, he claims that he volunteered to test out time travel technology. During the experiment, he says he was paid €200,000 for the purpose of jumping forward in time to the year 2365 in order to learn about the future. The man said of the government’s use of time travel: People in the Government aren’t exactly sure how things work; paradoxes can happen. All they know is that time travel is possible and we’ve figured out ways of doing it. I can tell you for a fact that time travel does exist within factions of the British Government. So what did he see there in the future, you may find yourself asking. Well, the man claims that he materialized from his time jump atop a very tall futuristic skyscraper, although he is unsure of what city it was. All around him were swarms of all manner of flying vehicles, as well as buildings that were of a unique slanted design, which soared up to dizzying heights into the sky, and most bizarrely of all, strange robots and beings that may have been aliens. He said of the fantastical sight that met him thus: On top of the skyscraper I saw various flying cars and modes of transportation that were travelling right by me. There were very long ones and very short ones, there were buses and cars, and I remember seeing a much higher form of air traffic above that, including aeroplanes that I have never seen before. I remember receiving a few strange looks from people in the cars that were looking at me. The buildings were all slanted for some reason. They were very tall, much taller than you would see in New York or Los Angeles. I remember seeing robots, humans and what appeared to be aliens. I don’t know if they were genetically modified humans or if they were aliens – but I remember seeing strange creatures with large eyes and almond-shaped heads. There were also very regular looking humans that you would think were any average joe today – but they were wearing very strange clothing. Altogether the man claims to have spent 6 days in the future, which he describes as “the most memorable of my life. I had an amazing time.” During his conversations with the people of the future he says that he told them what year he was from and that they were not surprised at all, informing him that time travel would become widely used from the year 2028. It’s another very weird account, and whether it is real or not it is quite entertaining at the very least. With such shadowy top secret projects, one may wonder what these governments think about these whistleblowers inconveniently coming forward with this classified information. Are they ignored? Are they trailed by mysterious agents like the Men in Black? According to one man, they face the risk of extermination and assassination. In July of 2018, a man calling himself simply “Noah” came forward to claim that he was a time traveler employed by an unnamed government, although he does have an American accent. According to Noah, he is from the year 2030, and was sent back with some colleagues on some unspecified mission. Sometime during the mission, he says, there was an accident, and they were subsequently intentionally stranded in the year 2018 due to their “incompetence,” after which they apparently became somehow separated. The whole bizarre story apparently came out under hypnosis, with a video of the whole thing posted online to a channel called “Apex TV.” During the very odd interview, Noah claims that World War III will break out with North Korea, and that the government routinely strands in time or kills those who screw up or tell of what is really going on with time travel. In the video, a spaced-out looking Noah gives quite a cryptic account of events, and during the bizarre interview tells the hypnotist of this: I know them enough that they will come and kill you guys if you said anything about this. I know how to keep my own. They would kill you fast. Trust me. It’s all your fault though. The government killed time travelers that spoke out. And I knew they wouldn’t be able to fend for themselves. I still can’t believe I got away with it. It is uncertain what any of this really means, and one is left to wonder if this is a hoax, the product of a delusional imagination festering within a perhaps very troubled individual, or if he really is a time traveler. In the end there is no evidence to prove any of it either way, and that is the problem with all of these cases. Here we have looked at tales of dark government conspiracies and stories of time travel and the consequences of coming out with it, and it is all very dramatic and entertaining, but it ends up just being that- amusing stories, without any basis in verifiable truth. Are world governments secretly engaging in secretive time travel projects, even silencing those who come forward? Probably not, but then again that is what they would want us to think, isn’t it? mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/07/mysterious-government-time-travel-programs-and-assassinations/

www.strangerdimensions.com/2018/08/28/time-travel-stories-strange-missions-into-the-past/ Time Travel Stories: Strange Missions Into the PastPosted by Rob Schwarz / plus.google.com/+RobSchwarz007 August 28, 2018 There’s always a mission. Whether it be John Titor and his quest to retrieve the IBM 5100, or Project Pegasus and their covert experiments to gather data on future events, most alleged time travelers journey with a purpose. And sometimes, that purpose is a bit hard to explain. You’ll see what I mean. Let’s have a look at some missions through time and space… Single Seven Needs Tomatoes One of the most memorable episodes of Coast to Coast AM involved Art Bell interviewing a man identified only as Single Seven. He was a time traveler from the year 2063, a “paleo ag tech,” as he called himself. “In the future,” he said, “they’re trying to change the weather.” His mission, however, involved traveling to the past to retrieve samples of crops that could be grown in his time. “I was sent back to find the earlier cousins of corn, wheat, tomatoes, things that can survive in a hotter temperature so that we can have them…we’ll use them to splice and make hybrids into the future…because we need to raise the temperature of the earth in the future to keep the MIM away…” The MIM, as Single Seven explained, were beings not unlike what we’d call the grey aliens. These extraterrestrials — or, perhaps, beings from another dimension — could also travel through time, though not in a way we’d easily comprehend. Single Seven claimed they hunted him during his missions through time. They also couldn’t deal with heat very well, which is why the humans of the future were trying to raise the planet’s temperature. The Carrot Soup ContingencyNext up, believe it or not, more vegetables. First, some backstory: I recently made a few changes to the website’s comments section, and took the opportunity to look over the (thousands of) comments left here at Stranger Dimensions over the years. I noticed a few that, let’s say, stood out, particularly involving time travel. This one’s at the top. December 23, 2012. A commenter using the alias “A man” left a strange response on my post about time travel images. “I promise time travel is possible,” he wrote, “I have been visited by a traveler from the future. I know its not something i can prove a.t.m. but its true. This man’s mission was to have me eat 4 bowls of carrot soup.” To this day, I don’t think anyone knows exactly what he meant by that. Why would someone from the future reach out to this person specifically? And why would his goal be to serve carrot soup? These are questions we’ll likely never have the answers to. However, “A man” went on to say that the strange traveler told him “of certain future events” that actually happened, and seemed to know his family, even though his appearance was unfamiliar. Perhaps the act of eating four bowls of carrot soup in one sitting irreversibly altered the timeline, changing the commenter’s life forever (though he did claim that nothing changed for him).
Alien ObserverAnother strange comment (one that got lost in the shuffle for about five years) was left by someone calling himself Bigbuddak. “Time travel as you perceive it is wrong,” he wrote, “A person cannot go back and forth through time.” No, he said, it’s a “one way trip.” That, however, hasn’t stopped groups in his future from harnessing time travel. “Various organizations in the far future have sent back people, observers if you will to study human achievements first hand. These observers are to note events, not change them. They are even forbidden to have contact [with] one another.” The people sent back in time, claimed Bigbuddak, never return home, instead living out their lives in the past and recording historical events. Their observations and notes are hidden in “preassigned areas,” where those in the future eventually retrieve them. The travelers are also rigorously vetted: “The people who are selected to travel back have to meet several criteria before they are chosen. They cannot be married, have children or alot of close family. They must be ordinary looking so they can blend in easier and they must have studied ancient history and the texts of the time into which they’ll be inserted.” It doesn’t always work out, though, or so he claimed. “Even though the screening process is very precise,” he wrote, “mistakes are sometimes made such as a person being sent back with items that are not used in that time.” And yet, the project continues: “Despite these mistakes the program has had overwhelmingly great success. The purpose of the program was not just to document historic events from first person accounts but more to study the daily life of past generations.” Another John Titor Says HelloMany of the stranger quirks in the John Titor story happened after he allegedly left our worldline. Others came forward, claiming to be John Titor or to have known him in the future. Some even claimed to be on his “time travel team,” so to speak. Might have had something to do with that mysterious website, but who’s to say? On December 12, 2012 (odd year, that one), yet another commenter chimed in claiming to not only be a time traveler, but to be one of many operating under the moniker John. “I am not John, but you may call be John being as how popular his conquests have become. His legend, as it [were], grew so big that all of our [volunteers] were code named ‘John’ from the beginning, our beginning.” The existence of the first John Titor, he wrote, had a direct influence on the development of their technology, leading to the discovery of time travel (or, really, worldline travel) sooner on his worldline than on Titor’s (or ours). His team was also assisted by other time travelers who arrived from his future. They had a keen interest in John Titor and his influence on the worldline, which led to their stated mission: “Our first task was to travel to a list of dates and times to assess if other time travelers had been there. Unlike what John has said, when you go back in one dimension it does effect the next… Our research concluded that not only had others visited these dates, but they were not all from our future. What we discovered is that time distortion can be achieved a number of ways, and not all of them are mechanical.” He didn’t say much else, other than that the changes in worldlines would “be discussed at a later date.” CONTINUE READING: www.strangerdimensions.com/2018/08/28/time-travel-stories-strange-missions-into-the-past/
